Someinstitutions (20%) have design courses throughout the curriculum in addition to the capstonedesign sequence, but more programs (40%) have design projects within non-design coursesthroughout the curriculum. The course or courses in the capstone design sequence are primarilyoffered only once a year (78%) with a slight edge to the spring semester/winter quarter (80%)over the fall semester/quarter (72%). Most institutions (78%) include instruction in software orprogramming as part of the course(s). The culminating design project is most often a theoreticaldesign (68%) as opposed to one based on experiments (3%) or resulting in a prototype (7%), andmost institutions do not use the AIChE Design Competition problems (70%).

We previously developed asemester-long EML project directing students on the process of product development in asophomore-level Biomechanics course. Using this project, we demonstrated in past studies thatthe inclusion of EML in a project can significantly enhance student self-evaluations for curiosity,connections, and value creation compared to a control group of students provided with the sameproject lacking explicit instructions to include EML concepts [5].The incorporation of entrepreneurship skills in biomedical engineering curricula is critical
